In what is reportedly the fastest time ever measured on a test track, Team WARR Hyperloop of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) reached 290mph with its pod during Elon Musk's third Hyperloop competition.

Panasonic Industry has announced its sponsorship of the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University in Munich (TUM) which is taking part in the third annual SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition this summer. The Hyperloop is a new transportation concept for a high speed train to travel in a near-vacuum tube. The vacuum-tube allows the capsule to travel at supersonic speed - faster than any commercial train or car in the foreseeable future.

Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.

There are potentially thousands of planets that lie just outside our solar system — galactic neighbours that could be rocky worlds or more tenuous collections of gas and dust. Where are these closest exoplanets located? And which of them might we be able to probe for clues to their composition and even habitability? The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be the first to seek out these nearby worlds.

With their Swissloop concept,ETH Zurich students have won the SpaceX competition of US entrepreneur Elon Musk against thousands of other teams. Now, in the summer of 2018, the Swiss will once again be able to prove themselves in the next round with their enhanced capsule. The Swissloop project is supported by Leybold. The vacuum pioneer has been promoting the Hyperloop projects of the technology revolutionary since 2015 with its vacuum know-how.

On Tuesday 6thFebruary at 3:45pm the world’s most powerful new space rocket took to the skies. Designed by SpaceX, CEO Elon Musk claims this could mark the end of the commercial spaceflight race. Is this true or is it simply the beginning?Named Falcon Heavy, the rocket flawlessly ascended from Florida into the heavens and is now in an orbit that stretches into the asteroid belt.

The Moon will get 4G coverage next year, 50 years after the first NASA astronauts walked on its surface. Vodafone plans to create the first 4G network on the Moon to support a mission by PTScientists in 2019 and has appointed Nokia as its technology partner.Berlin-based company, PTScientists is working with Vodafone Germany and Audi to achieve the first privately-funded Moon landing.

On 7th and 8th March 2018 atthe WWK Arena in Augsburg, Germany, the CADENAS 19th Industry Forum will take place. Engineers, purchasers and marketing specialists can find out about trends and innovations in the area of Strategic Parts Management, Electronic Product Catalogues as well as BIM. Top-class speakers of renowned companies will give numerous lectures to the professional visitors on how costs can be sustainably reduced in engineering with ...
